Youth for Christ was founded in 1944 and spread like wildfire.  YFC USA's first staff member was a young preacher named Billy Graham.  Since 2007, Youth For Christ has been at the forefront of caring for and working with young people in Anderson and Loudon County. We are in the process of chartering with YFC USA, to become one of 200 chapters, and part of YFC International, active in over 120 countries, helping teenagers find hope and meaning in life.

VISION OF YFC
As part of the body of Christ, the vision of Youth for Christ is to see every young person in every people group in every nation have the opportunity to make an informed decision to be a follower of Jesus Christ and to become part of a local church.
